Siemens SITRANS Probe LU Operating Instructions Manual page 41

P050 Vessel (or Channel) Shape
Defines the vessel (or open channel) shape (see chart on next page) and allows
SITRANS Probe LU to calculate volume or flow instead of level. The default setting for
P050 is 0 (volume calculation not required).
Enter the value for the vessel shape matching the monitored vessel or reservoir (see
chart on page 36).
P051 Maximum Volume
For readings in volumetric units instead of percentage values, enter the vessel volume
corresponding to Span (P007). Any volumetric units can be chosen, because the volume
calculation is based on the maximum volume, and scaled according to the Vessel Shape
(P050) value. If no value is entered, the default is 100, and the reading will be a
percentage value.
Values
Related Parameters

2. Press ENTER
If the value is too large for the LCD display, enter larger units.
